I personally put the Eras like this Gen 1-2: Pokémania Era, when the series had it's explosive start and was pretty much a household name right off the get go. Gen 3-5: Stigmatized Era, when the popularity of the series dwindled down, and the stereotypical audience for the series was...

Any Pokémon game that has been released for 5 years or longer should not be considered Modern Pokémon.

Yeah honestly I think B2W2 is mostly carried by it's unique side content. After replaying it multiple times in the past, the main game just feels average to me. Sw/Sh with the DLC is definitely an honorable mention on my new top 5 list alongside BDSP and HGSS.

Looking back at this, I clearly was seeing this through rose-tinted glasses, so here's an improved list. 1. USUM (Lots of postgame content such as the Battle Tree, Ultra Wormhole Legendaries, Poke Pelago. Although it's less than B2W2, you get more useful rewards compared to B2W2) 2. SV with DLC...

Same (Including the personal bias stuff), with 6 as a runner-up. There was so much to be hyped about during GO Mania up to LGPE. GO as a whole, Ash Greninja, Ultra Beasts, the Legendary events, the GOATED animes... God I miss the 3DS era...

People need to stop talking exclusively about the mainline games when talking about "The Best Generation of Pokémon", because just the mainline games as a whole don't paint an accurate picture of the era. Like if people took into account the anime, Gen 5 would have been seen as overrated a year...

It was Early 2018, I was 10 years old, and there was this card shop that me and my dad would go to for PTCG Tournaments. I was pretty bad and didn't want to learn (I was more focused on the SNES Classic they had). I would try different strats out (like Mewtwo GX and EX + Lunala Prism Star), but...

I do not want Pokemon games to be harder. I was replaying PLA and got to Arceus and got defeated 8 TIMES by it, and I was ready to break my Switch from the stress. I play Pokemon to relax, not to be a tryhard. It's why I rarely play ROM Hacks, they are too just difficult for me. Plus I hate...

The Best BBL Champion Kieran SEMI-COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES AND TEAM COMPOSITION. Need I say more? Champion Leon I usually criticize BS Level jumps in the Pokémon games but this gets a pass because of how fun it is. The theme, the atmosphere, the team, honestly hit really hard for 12 year old...

Many people put the start of the "Golden Age" at Emerald and FRLG. Unrelated note: IDK why people see HGSS as Gen 2 solely bcuz it's Johto. It's like saying PLZA is Gen 6, BDSP and PLA are Gen 4, LPGE is Gen 1, ect.

I did in 2021 and tbh, the dialogue and pacing really wasn't an issue for me (except at the beginning)

Honestly I feel like Gen 6 and 7 absolutists will be in the same group of "ThweeDeehsers" since SM turns 10 next year.

Gen 5 Pokémon fans have ruined Gen 5 for me. I LOVED Unova, and B2W2 is my second favorite Pokémon game aside from USUM, but the fans have killed my love for the region. More specifically, the MFs who say that anything after Gen 5 is shit. Like, how TF can you say that the games after Gen 5...

Like imagine going through a Special Champion Stadium while everybody BUT the Neo-Champion (most likely a child since most Neo Champions are the protags or rivals) knows you're hammered.

Update: So it seems that Z-A will release in October...
